Events celebrating the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. are happening today throughout Western North Carolina and continue through the week. In addition to the high-profile happenings - today's Peace March and Candlelight Service in Asheville - events at WNC colleges and churches blend history with music and activism.

In Cullowhee, Western Carolina University students will re-enact King's "I Have a Dream" speech at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. On Tuesday evening, at UNC Asheville, the Freedom Riders of the civil rights era will come to life for an evening titled "The Parchment Hour."
